Ok, it's not exactly a new setup...I have a 40G breeder tank and I'm going to add a 75G tank to the system. So doing that I need to get a bigger sump and skimmer. So I'm thinking to use a 40G breeder tank for the sump and upgrade to a Vertex IN-280 skimmer.
For lighting...I have a Tek 4 bulb T5 over the existing 40G. The new 75G I'm thinking about 2 of these... http://www.hellolights.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=1813&HS=1
In either a 150 or a 250 watt...This will be a mixed SPS and LPS, so should I use the 150 or 250?
The next thing is...I have an existing 20G high tank for a refugium...should I continue to run this? I plan on running a phosban reactor, so if I do that do I need the refugium still?
For flow in the 40G I have 2 koralia 2's...one runs for 2 hrs, then they switch. In the 75 I was thinking of using 4 K-3s...2 on at a time for 2 hrs.
Is there anything I'm missing? In future I would like to be able to also add a frag tank...would this equipment support that as well?
Thanks for any input.
